Mary is a lovely, quiet girl. When she was a little girl, she had no secrets from her mother, who was very pleased with her. But since last year she has become a little mysterious and not so open as before. She wants heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. But they never happen. And a gulf opens between them.

Her mother wonders if she falls in love. It's too early for a girl for her age. After all, she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother's mind.

One weekend her daughter came to tell mother that she was going to the cinema with her classmates and would return late. This was the first time her mother agreed, and she began to worry because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited until nine and couldn't fall asleep. Then she decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment, she heard the noise of a car and hurried to the window. There was her daughter, waving good-bye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the daughter came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing happened.“ Mum, I'm back. Sorry to be late.”

The daughter said nothing about the film and the boy. The mother really would like to know something about them. “ Who is that boy?” Daughter was stunned (發(fā)愣) for a moment. “ Ah, it's my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum I'm going to bed.” The daughter answered in careful words. “All right. Go to sleep early.”

The next morning when the mother went to daughter's room to do some tidying. She found her diary left on her bed. After a few minutes' hesitation (猶豫), she opened it to the right page. It says, "Mum, it's love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn't holding the diary” The mother fell into thought.

Every Saturday, Grandpa and I walk to the nursing home to visit some of the old and sick people there because they can’t take care of themselves.

First we visit Mrs. Sokol. I call her “The Cook.” She likes to talk about the time when she was a well-known cook in Russia. People would come from miles, just to taste her chicken soup.

Next we visit Mr. Lipman. I call him “The Singer” because he loves to sing for us. Whenever he does, his voice fills the air, clear and full of energy.

I also enjoy Mrs. Kagan’s stories about her own experiences during the old days. I call her “The Memory Lady.”

One day Grandpa got very sick and the doctor said they didn’t think he would get better.

It was time to visit the nursing home again. I had to go alone. Everyone was surprised when I told them that my grandpa was ill and in hospital.

A few days later, Grandpa was not able to sit up, eat or even speak. I went to the corner of the room so Grandpa wouldn’t see me cry. Suddenly, I heard someone singing. I looked up. It was the Singer. Behind her were the Cook. and the Memory Lady. The Cook brought her famous homemade chicken soup. The Memory Lady held Grandpa’s hand and told us how Grandpa once came to visit her in a snowstorm, just to bring her some roses for her birthday.

Before I realized it, visiting hours were up. That evening, Grandpa called the nurse in and said he was hungry. Soon he began to sit up. Finally he was able to get out of bed. It is really a miracle (surprising event), isn’t it?

1.Why did the writer and his grandpa go to the nursing home every Saturday?

___________________________________________________________

2.Who were Grandpa’s good friends in the nursing home?

________________________________________________________

3.Why did the writer cry?

_______________________________________________________
